Re: pic: A Successful Cap in Auto
One of the things I noticed throughout NJ that was almost aggravating to me was how many teams didn't drop their keepers at the end of autonomous, regardless of where they were. Not only is it technically a rule that you have to drop your keeper, but there were many times where if teams had just dropped their keeper, it may have just landed on the spider leg and counted. There was, in fact, one instance where 375 had their keeper DIRECTLY ABOVE the spider foot, but didn't release it. When teleoperated began, they released their keeper before moving. It landed on the spider leg, and the match had to be restarted because the keeper shouldn't have counted. This is my plea to teams: please, DROP YOUR KEEPERS at the end of autonomous- you may just score them.
